2018 Ford F-150 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs. RAM 1500

If you often find yourself faced with towing needs, off-roading
wants, and are looking for a comfortable and connected cabin, you might look
for a stylish full-size pickup. But, there are a number of full-size pickups to
choose from. So, which is right for you? This dare to compare will give you a
peak at what makes the FordF-150 a standout amount two of its biggest
competitors.

Engine Options

Versatility is one of the most important things to look for
when shopping for a pickup truck, and one way that's offered is by providing
different engines to meet different customer needs. The 2018 RAM 1500 offers
three engines, including a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 that offers 420 lb-ft of torque.
The 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 also comes with one of three engines, ranging
from a 285-horsepower V6 to a 420-horsepower V8. With gas engines, the RAM 1500
can tow up to 10,620 pounds while the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can tow up to
12,500 pounds. The 2018 Ford F-150, however, can tow a maximum of 13,200 pounds
and offers a total of six engines, including a new Turbo-Diesel option, as well
as the twin-turbo, intercooled DOHC 24-valve 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine
designed specifically for the off-road ready F-150 Raptor model.

Off-Roading

Speaking of off-roading, there's no full-size pickup in this
lineup quite as prepped for the challenge as is the Ford F-150 Raptor. This
trim features performance tools designed especially to handle the road less
traveled, like off-road FOX Racing Shox™ and a Terrain Management System™ with
six different drive modes. While you will find things like an available
Active-Level™ Four-Corner Air Suspension in the RAM 1500 or the Hill Start
Assist in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you won't find anything quite like the
technologies in the F-150 Raptor.

Safety

Each of these three full-size pickups comes equipped with a
standard rear view camera as well as their own advanced airbag systems. All
three trucks also offer their own set of advanced driver-assist features,
though the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150 stand out more in this
area. The Silverado 1500 is available with Forward Collision Alert, where the
Ford F-150 has Pre-Collision Alert with Pedestrian Detection. Both have their
own lane-keeping assist system. The 2018 Ford F-150 also offers a Blind Spot
Information System and Adaptive Cruise Control.

With more choices and unique off-roading technologies, the Ford
F-150 delivers a driving experience, which triumphs over its competitors. Visit
